The Prologue. There is a second prologue just before Act 2.
In the prologue, it is mentioned that there are two households, the Capulets and the Montagues, who are enemies. In Act 1, scene 5 of "Romeo and Juliet," Juliet and Romeo's initial encounter at the Capulet party echoes the prologue by highlighting the forbidden love and tragedy that will unfold due to the feud between the two households. Juliet's line, "My only love sprung from my only hate," underscores the theme of love emerging from a place of conflict, mirroring the central conflict between the two families.
A prologue is explanatory text or information presented to an audience so that the action of the poem, book, or play can take place without an establishing sequence or exposition. It is the opening section of a longer work. It also means the preface or introductory part of a novel, long poem, or play. A prologue can provide background information, hint at theme, or foreshadow (or obviously reveal) what is yet to come. An example of a prologue is the prologue found before Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Other examples could begin with phrases such as : "This book is about...and how the characters..." "The origin of this story is..." "The setting of this play is in..."
